POLITICAL COMMENTARY 🇱🇷
Senator Chea: Unity Party Can’t Cry Foul Over Disrespect Now After Backing Prophet Key, Yekeh vs. Weah
MONROVIA – Sinoe County Senator Augustine S. Chea says officials of the Unity Party are now experiencing the consequences of a political culture they once tolerated and benefited from when it was directed at former President George Weah and his family.
In a commentary titled “If the House Doesn’t Sell You, the Street Will Not Buy You,” Senator Chea recalled years of public attacks by controversial preacher Prophet Key and former Representative Yekeh Kolubah against Weah, his wife, and mother. According to him, rather than condemning such behavior, many opposition figures applauded it and gained political advantage from it.
Chea argued that the situation has now changed. Prophet Key is currently imprisoned, while Yekeh Kolubah lost his seat in the House of Representatives. He said those who once celebrated personal attacks are now objecting when similar conduct is directed at them.
“What is good for the goose is good for the gander,” Chea stated, emphasizing that civility and respect should apply to everyone regardless of political affiliation.
The Senator also warned that Liberia’s public discourse is deteriorating, with insults and vulgar language increasingly being mistaken for courage and political strength.
He stressed that meaningful criticism is being overshadowed by personal attacks and called for an education system that promotes character, discipline, and respect alongside academic achievement.
